Preceptor Training

We train experienced clinicians who want to guide learners in their field.

Preceptors are experienced practitioners who work closely with a learner for a set period of time. They help learners develop the skills required for safe, ethical and quality practice.

Preceptors set expectations, give feedback on performance and provide appropriate opportunities for learning.

Preceptor eligibility

In order to be eligible to be a preceptor, clinicians must:

  • Have the support of their manager
  • Be in good standing with their regulatory college, as applicable
  • Not be currently involved in a performance management plan
  • Be up to date with competencies and annual education requirements
  • Have demonstrated best practices and professionalism for an appropriate amount of time in their area
  • Have a schedule that meets the placement requirements or coordinate to share a learner with another preceptor to meet placement requirements (including regular work schedule and anticipated time off/vacation)
  • Have a caseload appropriate for a learner, given the size, complexity, modifications and so on
